Captain Stottlemeyer: Are you Malcolm Cowley?
Malcolm Cowley: That's right.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm Captain Stottlemeyer, San Francisco P.D. This is Lieutenant Disher, Sharona Fleming.
Adrian Monk: And I am Adrian Monk. The Adrian Monk.
Malcolm Cowley: Is there a problem?
Captain Stottlemeyer: I was reading about you in the newspaper.
Malcolm Cowley: Sharona, wipe? I need a wipe here.
Captain Stottlemeyer: That's you, isn't it? "It Just Wasn't His Day." It says here that you had two accidents in the course of 10 minutes. First you hit a little tree; then you drove another half mile and hit a lamppost.
Malcolm Cowley: That's right. Is that a crime?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, it is if you were intentionally damaging your car so you wouldn't have to explain a smashed-in grill. See, Mr. Monk found this other article. "Hit-And-Run Driver Kills A Grandmother." Same neighborhood, same approximate time. We thought there might be a connection.
Lieutenant Disher: Captain. Blood.
